The Russian experimental rocket which exploded in August at an offshore platform at the Nyonoksa naval test range on the White Sea will be perfected "regardless of anything," according to President Vladimir Putin.
Putin awarded posthumously orders of courage to the 7 scientists and workers who lost their lives after what many experts believe was a nuclear powered cruise missile known as the 9M730 Burevestnik experienced a catastrophic failure. After the accident, radiation levels in the area spiked sixteen times above normal before receding.
Last March at his annual address to Parliament, Putin bragged about his advanced weapons, but military technology experts in the west believe Putin was blowing hot air. His "wonder weapons" were all probably still at the testing stage and nowhere near being deployed.
